All requirements

• You and both parents are foreign nationals when you apply. A Korean dual national in the family rules you out; a former Korean counts only if the whole family changed nationality before high school
• You graduate (or will) from a regular high school. Cyber schooling, a GED-type equivalency exam or a self-study degree is NOT accepted
• KOREAN STANDARD: TOPIK 4 (TOPIK 3 for Design, Practical Music, Game Contents and Animation); or level 4 at the Chung-Ang institute; or level 5 at another certified institute; or Sejong intermediate 2; or a Korean high school
• NO SCORE YET? You can still apply. If your documents pass you get a PRELIMINARY admission and enter once you reach TOPIK 4 within two years, by re-applying to the same unit
• Medicine needs TOPIK 6 and an interview (round 1 only). Convergence Engineering needs TOPIK 5. Game Convergence is the English track: TOEFL iBT 60 (3.5 new scale) or IELTS 5.5, or an English-language high school
• You may list a first and a second choice (60,000 won extra). Arts and Sports units only as first choice
• Selection is 100% documents, except medicine (50% interview) and arts and sports (50% practical or portfolio)
• Pharmacy, nursing, law and education units are not in the unit table, so they are closed to this track
